Penn State will beat Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal
I have Penn State winning this game because I think Penn State and Notre Dame are very, very, very similar... I think Penn State's a little bit better version of the team they're going for... great defense, better quarterback... I don't think Drew Aller is gonna make the mistakes the backup quarterback [for Georgia] made.

What is the GM gonna do? He's probably gonna spend as much money as he possibly can at in free agency... now you have the coach and GM in their Hot Seat years. Gonna just try to spend as much money as possible and hope that that keeps their job.
The Giants will likely start a rookie quarterback early in the season to save their jobs
If they get Cam Ward or Shedeur or somebody like that and they wait around for four weeks into the regular season and he doesn't look great in practice, they're going to be more likely to be like, fuck it, let's just pull the emergency start rookie quarterback lever so that we can save our own job.
Mike McCarthy is a better head coaching hire than Ben Johnson because McCarthy is a proven winner
Mike McCarthy has at least proven himself as a head coach. There's been many examples of stud offensive coordinators not working on his head coaches. You have a better chance of doing [well] with Mike McCarthy than Ben Johnson. I'm not even joking about that. I'd rather take a proven winner.

View profileThe Big 10 is currently the best conference in college football
The Big 10 is, is the best conference in college football right now. And I think they will probably win their fourth national title with the fourth different team this year.
Texas is not the clear #2 team in the SEC; their schedule is nasty and the program vibes feel tenuous
I push back on Texas being the clear number two, the more I thought about it. That schedule is so nasty... I just don't like the whispers around the program right now. It feels like Sark never really has that thing where he is like, you know, I know Cignetti at Indiana is a firm leader and that thing is tight. Georgia, Kirby Smart, same thing... but I don't feel that at Texas.
Texas A&M is a fake top 10 team this year
I don't believe in them at all. A&M fans think I'm just a hater, but last year... their first seven games in the SEC were against teams ranked 10th through 16th in the SEC. They needed a miracle to beat South Carolina. Then they finally get to Texas, they finally get to Miami. They can't score, they can't move the ball. And I think the quarterback is just okay. And I think they had to revamp the offensive and defensive lines. They're not getting that schedule again. I think A&M right now is a fake top 10 team.
